Yainer Diaz shines despite Astros' loss to Pirates
by Emily Maingi | Astros Correspondent | Wed, Jul 31st 11:22am EDT
Yainer Diaz went 4-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Astros' 6-2 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance highlighted his consistent hitting prowess, as he managed to connect solidly each time at bat, including a home run. Despite the team's loss, Diaz's individual success at the plate continues to bolster his season batting average, now sitting comfortably at .295 over 96 games. His ability to contribute power with 10 homers and maintain a relatively low strikeout rate of 0.145 adds considerable value to fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward power-hitting catchers. Diaz's consistent contact and power should keep him as a viable starting option in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that value offensive production from the catcher position.
